Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP has an increasingly broad securities litigation and shareholder litigation practice, which acts for clients in cases filed in state and federal courts throughout the country. The firm continues to be involved in niche areas of the market, including SPAC-related cases, but it continues to rack up notable successes for high-calibre clients in many types of cases. An example is the work of Jamie Wareham in Washington DC in high-profile matters for Perrigo, whose current and former directors and officers are accused of inflating the company’s share price by failing to adequately disclose problems, and Under Armour, which faced allegations improper sales and accounting practices. Scott Luftglass and Peter Simmons lead the securities and shareholder litigation practice, with Luftglass acting for Clover Health Investments Corp. in shareholder class actions and derivative actions relating to a short-seller’s report and the de-SPAC transaction that created the company. Samuel Groner is increasingly prominent in the firm’s key matters.
